I desperately need mk.13 torpedo. Look at this abomination from trumpeter. Too long, too skinny, wrong fins, wrong shape just plain wrong

Very subtle detail, all the way. Me likey

Excellent news Peter, your timing is perfect. Order placed. Cheers Martin

You know what to do.

If you convert .dng file into a .jpg . It should work.

My favourite so far.

Thank you for the pics marine.

Happy birthday Carl ! 🎂 🐕

The same reason as the ww2 stripes. Allowing the gunners to make a quick call. friendly/foe recognition thingie .

Hi Oliver, absolutely. You need a photo editor, I am using PhotoScape, but there are many more available online and they are free. Every editor should have resolution/size adjustment tool . Choose the presets option and decrease the size. If there is anything you need help with please send me PM. Cheers Martin

Damn, that orange gave it a completely different vibe. Nicely done , I mean to this point, with some gentle staining and your magic weathering touch she is going to be a winner!

I decreased the resolution, so instead of 24M the picture is only 2,2 or so and it loaded in a normal fashion.

This could work.

Smooth as silk.

That pig looks tempting. Must be of decent size in 1/48.

Exceptional attention to detail, great weathering, top notch. Cheers Martin

Splendidly looking Tomcat, Bravo!

The technique is well known, here we are talking about talent and skill . Some tutorial video describing the use of the artistic oil paint and variations of its applications .

Bloody amazing !

Talking rivets. Trumpeter did apply some but half way. So I used available photos to finish it somehow.

yup, she's still mesmerizingly stunning. ( I was kinda paraphrasing MLK in my answer above )

the time was right ...

I actually like it a lot. I tried both the acrylic which needs little more thinner than for instance valleyo or AK, but it is atomizing really nicely. However I’m completely sold on their Enamel line. Remember the early ModelMaster enamels? Something along those lines, easy to blend and mottle, great coverage. Kinda stinky, but that’s the nature of the beast. I would like to say that I finally find a paint line that works for me. But again, it is super subjective and I’m still keeping my Mig acrylic as well.
